So, how will SAT gather this info? Can't be from the voluntary reporting-- how can that be valid? Do you get a score for no answer? Do they want parent tax returns? Or is it just going to be the neighborhood/zip code you live in?
You could read the presentation I cited in post# 245521. The adversity score does not depend on the circumstances of the student but on the characteristics of his or her school and neighborhood. The College Board knows a student's address and school attended. I think that in my town, which has a single public high school, that all students from that high school (who could not attend that school unless they lived in town) would have the same adversity score.
